'If the community have left horrible places and horrible lives
before his eyes, then the fault is the community's: and to picture
these places and these lives becomes not merely his privilege, but
his duty.' The Jago was a corner of Shoreditch, notorious as the
filthiest of London's late nineteenth-century slums. In his second
East End work, Arthur Morrison brings to life all the squalor of
this area - among those whose only commandment was 'thou shall not
nark' - through the life of little Dicky Perrot, who fought and
stole and loved his family like the rest of them. With the help of
the respected Father Sturt, Dicky tries to earn an honest living as
a shop assistant, but the bubble of his new pride and
responsibility is soon burst, through no fault of his, but because
no one makes good in the Jago.
